Greetings all,

Over the past month, several members within each club have gotten together to re-structure our fan group. Taking in several suggestions, we have penned the new charter. There will be no major changes to costume clearance or any requirements to make members attend events, after all we still consider ourselves a costume AND prop club. We are asking membership to read over the charter and are asking for any constructive critiques. This thread will remain open for 2 weeks for members to post questions, or suggest edits to the charter. On 10/05/18, we will lock the thread and suggestions will be added to the charter. Once the final draft is ready, we will implement the new charter for the club.

Some concerns before looking over the charter,

1. Costume clearance will not change. Our guiding principle is that everyone is welcome to join, regardless of ability.2. Members will not have a set number of events to attend each year. 3. the forum staff will remain the same for the time being.

2 – MissionThe Aliens Legacy is an international costuming and prop collecting club dedicated to the Alien movie franchise. The Aliens Legacy promotes interest in the Alien universe and facilitates the use of costumed characters at events and appearances. The overall mission is to promote a sense of community for fans of the Alien movies.

3 - Membership requirements

The Aliens Legacy is an inclusive, equal-opportunity, non-discriminatory club. Membership is open to persons 18 years or olderAll members must register an account on the official webforum. Members must apply for a serial number from the registrar of the Colonial Marines.

4 - Definitions.

4.1Active - Members must reply to the yearly roll call to remain active.

Active members are allowed to sign up for as many events as they please and may run for elected office and vote in club elections.

4.2 In-active - Members will have their status changed to inactive if they fail to respond to the yearly roll call. Members who are listed as inactive will need to contact the Colonial Sergeant at Arms to have their status re-activated before attending any events. Inactive members may not run or vote in elections.

Any member who has been in-active for 3 consecutive years or more, must re apply for membership.

4.3 - Good standing - All members are considered in good standing if they are not banned, currently serving a suspension, or going through a disciplinary hearing.

4.4 - Event(s) - Commonly referred to as drops, conventions, or other similar function, an event is defined as a gathering where the club is participating in a costumed capacity.

5 - Costume standards

5.1 Costume requirements - The Aliens Legacy as a group, recognize that people may not have access to certain items, or have limited budgets, but still want to be part of the group. There is no minimum costume standard for those applying to be in the group - all fans of the franchise are welcome - but if you wish to come to events in costume, we strongly request having something that is recognizably from the Alien universe.

5.2 - Special ops costume standards

There are times when a specific costume standard may be instituted. These occasions are known as “Special Ops”, and include events such as meet and greets, or Corporate Events (promotional work for Fox, etc).

Costume standards for those participating in these events will vary, and are to be determined by the organizer of the event. Please bear in mind that if a specific costume standard exists for any event, it exists for a reason, and as such these standards are non-negotiable.

Special Ops may be singular (one-off) or recurring events. Costume standards applied to a Special Op are valid for that specific instance only. Members may be required to provide the organizer of the event with a picture of their completed costume. Members will be given any specifics that may require adjustments to their costumes prior to the selection process. The organizer will give clear instructions to the Aliens Legacy on what level of standards they are going by.

Section III Chain of Command, Standing orders, Disciplinary hearings

11 - Chain of Command

The chain of command is crucial to the smooth running of The Aliens Legacy. The chain of command will involve information being fed up the chain, and orders being sent down the chain.The Chain of command is as following.

1.Colonial Administration |2.Division Leadership| 3.Battalion Command

All discipline and problems within the group are strongly suggested to be resolved at the battalion level first before being forwarded up the chain of command.

12 - Standing orders

The standing orders are a set definitions and rules membership is required to adhere too.

12.1 Code of Conduct - Members are required to act professional at all times while in public. Members are to refrain from any actions, opinions, or conduct that could reflect negatively on the Aliens Legacy.

12.2 Weapons -Generally, the public cannot tell the difference between fictional weapons and real ones. Moreover, the majority of the prop weapons used in Aliens were either existing weapons (VP-70, SA-80), or heavily based on one (Pulse Rifle, Smartgun). Because of this, it's strongly advised that you treat your weapon as if it was real… because local Law Enforcement most certainly will. Avoid placing your finger on the trigger, do not carry as if ready to fire, and most importantly, NEVER point your prop at any individual unless you are asked to do so or the circumstances make it reasonably obvious that you are not doing anything threatening. Use your common sense, and when in doubt, err on the side of caution.

All weapons will be peace bonded at the request of convention or organizer staff. NO EXCEPTIONS.

If you don't want the peace bond to appear in photographs, cover it, but do not remove it. This is especially important, as refusal to comply with convention policies regarding prop weapons can result in expulsion from the event.

12.3 Major Offences

Violence or threats of violence against fellow members. Physically striking a member, or civilian, with the intent to cause bodily harm or without cause. Threatening harm against the person or property of an individual via phone/ voice mail, forum, electronic social media or in writing.

The CO, XO, and Sergeant at arms of colonial administration shall conduct the investigation, get both sides of the story, and interview possible witnesses.

13.4 Conflicts of interest - If a complaint is filed against a member who serves on the division or colonial administration, that member will refrain from serving on the disciplinary hearing and a substitute shall be used.

If I happen to be a member of this board and I want to go to....say...a convention that some other AL members will be attending and I want to hang out with said members, I have to be a member of this club to do so?

What about charities? I know I do obstacle races and donate to St Jude. I also want to start having donations at the fan table. This was not done in the past due to it being expressed a financial officer/treasurer would be needed. I have seen countless other fan groups here in the states do it and I know it is being done in other countries. This is something I really want and extremely disappointed it was not done in the past.

You mean a charity for the Aliens Legacy as a whole? That would limit the group to a worldwide charity. Would it change every year or just stick to the same one?

Also, the organizational side of it would be mind bending, as each country has it's own regulations about setting up fundraising groups. Like you pointed out, would mean creating various positions in the Aliens Legacy, and honestly, the group simply doesn't have the manpower and discipline for that yet.

As for a charity for the whole USCM, again, run into similar problems. I looked into it three years and it seemed like a mountain of paperwork to register as a 501c, would mean the group jumping through a lot of hurdles, which we just don't have the man power or discipline for.

Saying that though, I agree with you, doing stuff for charity is great, hell, it's how I got into costuming/cosplay doing stuff for the Exewing Fundraisers.

I think the local ships, Maryland, Chicago , you etc should have no issue doing the Warrior Dash and other events, or hooking up with local charities and arrange to do collections for them.

No as I stated to you in the past I want to do fund raising at the table. It does not matter which charity. I know I donate to St Jude cause I have family members who have benefitted from their services. That is why I am putting it out to the community as I have already heard your response. You have stated the whole paperwork thing over and over yet I see other groups do it. I saw the Star Wars Collectors Group of Atlanta do it at the last con. It does not have to be the same charity for the community. So what is the official statement. Again this is not a question to you but the group.

My answer was for everyone, to explain why the AL and USCM hasn't gone down a charity fundraising group route in the past.

Never heard you talk about collections at the table (assuming you mean DCon? We can't because DCon raise money for their own nominated charity AFAIK), and think I might have mentioned charities and paperwork once, so not sure what you are talking about.

The only mention of it is if you are taking donations and not actually giving them to who you say you are. I think this can be accomplished between the colonial admin and division leadership agreeing on what charities, if any, we donate too.

As far as dragoncon, they will not allow us to gather donations, even for their recognized charities.

Mike thanks for the reply. I was talking about conventions that allow donations as I have known for years DragonCon was a no no. I have already done the work with some charities in the past and know the requirements. Just wanted to make sure it was on the up and up with the community. Like I said it is better to ask in advance and get the details instead of asking for forgiveness after the fact acting ignorant when it comes to cons. Like most places it takes forever to get a good reputation but one second to ruin it taking forever, if possible, to repair. I think this will be big as for getting the Aliens Legacy name out there. As with everything else all things will be posted publicly as to what charity and how much. Hope to get the shooting booth up and going by the end of the year. In the meantime it will be a lock box at the fan table. Looks like the photo backdrop is back up. Talked with the company today.

Lookup the East Tennessee Foundation. They manage non profits and allow the non profit to raise funds and do their thing. I would agree and say that non-profit designation is a bit of a bad idea for the group. We are better off doing fund raisers for individual charities on a case by case basis. For me it would be split between the Wounded Warrior Project and Foster Care organizations as the event determines the charity for donation really.

Well that is the thing, there is no requirement for a member to attend a minimum of events a year. All a member has to do is reply to the yearly roll call to remain active. This was done because we have several members who are part of the community who like the prop side of the club and we dont want to exclude them in any way

Thats a well thought out proposal!I do see a few issues though as far as the UKCM goes... The UKCM is our costuming group, the AL is the forum that we use. We have our own leadership, and our own rules regarding elections, battalion organisation, events and attendance, charities etc, and a lot of them go completely against what you have written above.

How do we get around that?

we can incorporate your rules into the proposed charter. i didn't notice any glaring differences by looking at the threads in the UK sub forum. but the idea is this is for everyone to have their say on the charter and we buff out the differences.

Absolutely! I for one think a little more structure can only be a good thing. That goes for all the group's! And good job on taking steps to get us there.

I'm sure a few of the other guys will pop up and give there input. There's a few things that I have issue with for now though. One being the disbanding of any inactive battalions. UKCM battalions are set in stone, and wont be changed regardless of numbers/drop counts.The other was the disciplinary procedures. Unless it's something that has happened on the forum, then we have our own process and it will be dealt with by ourselves

the thought behind this was people popping up, making a battalion, then not doing anything with it. maybe i was looking at this problem from a US perspective. i know our members are very fluid and aside from a few battalions, go AWOL a lot. i know all of your battalions are very well represented, so i never see this being an issue for you guys.

the idea behind discipline is this. If it effects a division, the division handles it. if it effects the group on a global scale, the colonial admin steps in. example,

a member of yours does something against section 12.4 lesser offences. it would be handled by the UKCM since it effects the UKCM.

if a member of yours takes collections for a charity on behalf of the Aliens Legacy and steals the money, where all members are effected, then colonial administration would step in and deal with it. the idea is all discipline should be handled on the division / battalion level first and only should reach the colonial admin if the member is a repeat offender, does something that would affect the group as a whole, or if they feel their discipline was not handled objectively.

My suggestion would be to limit the number of members of a geographic location from being on the Colonial Administration to prevent anyone from feeling it is "stacked" in any direction. There are 5 divisions so maybe one from each or only a couple from each. That way the majority is not skewed one way or the other. Just an idea.

Thanks for clearing that up.I do think that a global costuming group is a good thing. All the small groups United under one banner! I am going to stand firm though in that any matters concerning the UKCM and any decisions that need to be made regarding us, are made solely by us and not by an AL ruling body.
